Evening,


I am trying to import file echos using the filegate.xxx from fido. it works great but do I have to set the node address manually for each file echo?


looking at multi.ini there does not look like there is an entry and the file editor in mystic -cfg does not have a Global config? if there an external file
area editor that can do this or do i need to bite the bullet and just get r done.

filename of filebone.na

filename = c:\mystic\na\filegate.zxx

; root directory to create file paths under. when a new filebone echo
; is found, mUtil will create a file using "root_dir" + areatag. So
; for example if root is "c:\mystic\filebase\" and the areatag is
; MYSTICBBS it will create "c:\mystic\filebase\MYSTICBBS". This root
; directory MUST exist.

root_dir = c:\mystic\files\fido


; convert tags to lower case for filebase base filename/dir 1=yes

lowercase_filename = 1

; Default values when creating a new file base

dispfile =
template = ansiflst
acs_list =
acs_ftp =
acs_download =
acs_upload =
acs_hatch =
acs_sysop = s255

; true/false type values 0=false 1=true (newscan 2=forced)

free_files = 0
show_uploader = 1
new_scan = 1

yes there is a global editor for message bases in mystic -cfg

You header to editors > message base editor

Then press TAB to select the bases to change

Then press / key to bring up a menu and select Global

Set fields you want to change to YES

Set the correct setting for each field.

Press CTRL-U to update and accept the pop up dialogue

Hope that helps

Best, Paul
